How to make a lens liquid slime: a homemade method

Levomycetin eye drops

Eye drops Levomycetin consist of chloramphenicol and water, are used for infectious diseases of the organs of vision. The active substance has the ability to increase the viscosity of some of the components with which it comes into contact. But it is weaker than sodium tetraborate. The drops themselves are practically harmless, being used in the manufacture of slime.

Levomycetin is freely available in pharmacies. Drops cost 15-25 rubles. for 10 ml.

Cooking method

1. Place the glue in the bowl.

1. Add drops and mix liquid.
2. Pour powder paint into it.
3. Mix water with soda in a spoon and pour into the total mass.
4. Knead first with a spatula, then with your hands.

From toilet paper

With this method of toilet paper, you can use more than indicated, this will help to save on the amount of glue

But it is important not to change the proportions of both substances too much. Indeed, with a lack of glue, the slime may not curl up, and the workpiece will turn into lumps floating in the liquid

With exact proportions, it is necessary to dissolve the toilet paper well to avoid the same problem.

What you need to buy for a slime

• 30 ml of water,
• 2 tbsp. l. shampoo,
• 10-15 cm double-ply toilet paper,
• 4-5 st. l. PVA glue,
• 0.5 tsp acrylic paint,
• 1-2 tbsp. l. solution for lenses.

Cooking method

1. Pour shampoo into the water placed in a cup.
2. Use a soft dishwashing sponge to foam the ingredients.
3. Put pieces of toilet paper in it.
4. Stir the liquid until the paper lumps are dissolved.
5. Pour glue into it, mix.
6. Touch up the liquid.
7. Add lens solution.
8. Knead with a spoon and hands.

Ingredients for making slime

Slime is a toy of a jelly-like consistency, consisting of a polymer substance and an activator. The classic thickener is sodium tetraborate - boric acid salt. It is he who endows the toy with the properties of a non-Newtonian fluid. Without external influence, a decrease in the viscosity of the slime is observed; when squeezed, its density increases.

Pharmacy sodium tetraborate is an aggressive substance, therefore, when making slime at home, it is mixed with water. When mixing lizun, it is introduced in a small amount, constantly stirring the mixture.

Sodium tetraborate for making slime can be made by yourself. Mix baking soda (50 g) with boric acid (70 g), stir to dissolve the soda grains, or filter the solution.

The second recipe for making sodium tetraborate at home: mix water (200 ml), boric acid (5 g) and a crushed bar of laundry soap, heat the mass in the microwave and stir to achieve a homogeneous state.

The properties of an activator are possessed by many synthetic and organic compounds containing boric acid, in liquid or powder form, which requires preliminary preparation of a solution. The most readily available components are borax powder, contact lens fluid, saline, liquid starch, gelatin, iodine, eye drops, Teimurov's foot spray, drops from the common cold, hydrogen peroxide.

An activator for slimes can be replaced with available tools in every home - dishwashing liquid, washing gel, soda, sugar, air freshener, hairspray.

As a rule, PVA glue acts as a polymer substance in the composition of the slime, which always turns out. But you can make a slime without his participation. To replace this ingredient, use shampoo, toothpaste, body or hand cream or body milk, razor foam or shaving gel, shower gel, film mask.

Silicate glue

From silicate glue, beautiful transparent slimes are obtained - soft, elastic. This glue should not be confused with silicone: the latter is a sealant that is not suitable for creating a toy. You need to take the following components:

• 2 tablespoons of glue;
• 1 teaspoon liquid detergent (any)
• 1 tablespoon shaving foam
• dye.

First, paint, foam, glue are mixed, then a gel-like detergent for washing or washing is introduced into the mass. Slime that is too thin can be thickened with extra shaving foam.

There is another recipe for a "silicate" slime with sparkles:

• pour a glass of cold water into the container;
• throw 5 ice cubes into the water;
• add a teaspoon of baking soda;
• after the ice has melted, add sparkles and 3 tablespoons of silicate glue;
• knock down all the glue with a spatula into a dense lump;
• get the slime, knead it with your hands.

Tips & Tricks

Even when creating such a toy, safety precautions are observed. This is due to the fact that the composition contains household chemicals. Some tricks will help "revive" the slime:

1. Loss of structure and sticking to hands. Over time, the slime loses its consistency. A couple of drops of tetraborate will solve the problem.
2. The slime is divided into parts. In this case, the mixture must be hardened. The ideal option is to use glycerin. You can take it not in pure form, soap with its content will come in handy.
3. Resizing. A pinch of salt will preserve the volume of the slime and it will not decrease. It is added to the mass together with water. After that, the toy is kneaded with hands. It is useful to repeat the procedure every 4 days, as this will preserve its properties.

You can return the toy to its original shape at home. Better yet, maintain the consistency so that it doesn't change and you don't have to constantly add different ingredients. Slimes are not stored at high temperatures. For the time when the toy is not in use, place it in a tightly closed box in the freezer. The cold does not destroy the structure, in contrast to high temperature indicators.

How to properly care for slime

This toy has a limited life. For purchased representatives, this is a maximum of six months, for self-made representatives - three months. This figure directly depends on the storage method. There are certain requirements in this matter:

• The best storage place is the refrigerator.
• Direct sunlight is not allowed.
• The container where the slime lives must be airtight.
• From time to time, the mass needs to be crumpled and fed.

Compliance with the above rules will not only allow you to enjoy the game during the entire declared service life, but may even extend it.

Regardless of which recipe for creating an anti-stress toy was chosen, it is very important to maintain proportions and include imagination. Even the simplest slime can be turned into a real miracle with the help of a minimum amount of additional ingredients.

For example, you can make a real magnetic slime using metal oxide.

Shampoo + salt + sodium tetraborate

Sodium tatraborate can be purchased at any pharmacy. It is needed so that the slime is better held together and keeps its shape.

The components are the same, plus an activator. How to make:

• Mix 3-4 tablespoons of shampoo with 2 teaspoons of salt. Mix.
• Add 1 teaspoon of sodium tetraborate. Stir again.
• Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Shampoo and salt slimes can be colored with food coloring to make them brighter and more beautiful. For a cleaner color, choose a clear shampoo. The dye should be added directly to the shampoo and then mixed with salt. And here are some life hacks for storing and using such a toy:

• Sodium tetraborate can be replaced with lens storage fluid.
• To make the slime last longer, do not leave it outdoors. Store it in a closed container in the refrigerator.
• If the mixture is too sticky, you can add 4 drops of baby oil. It is imperative to knead the mass so that the oil is distributed over the entire area.

How to make a slime from shampoo and salt is now known. But there are other recipes for making a stretching toy. It is worth learning about other methods in more detail.

Basic recipes

First of all, you need to buy the main ingredient - a film mask. It is sold in every makeup store.

Matt slime

There is a universal method for making slime from improvised means. It will turn out matte, without characteristic overflows.

For manufacturing you will need:

• Shaving foam.
• Tube with mask.
• Baking soda.
• Dye (optional).
• Boric acid powder.

You need to start mixing the slime from the mask-film. The contents of the tube are squeezed completely into a plastic container and the shaving foam is added to it. It is worth taking a volume the size of an average orange. Mix the two and add the color. You don't have to do this if it is absent.

The next step is boric acid. It is introduced pinch at a time, along with baking soda. You can stir at the very beginning with a stick or a spoon, but at the moment of the reaction it will be difficult to control the devices, so it is better to knead the slime with your hands so that the components are evenly mixed. As a result, you should get a slime that has excellent viscosity, but at the same time does not differ in shine.

Air

Sodium tetraborate is indispensable in this recipe. But, besides him, there are also assistants.

Composition:

• Film mask.
• Shaving foam.
• Tetraborate.
• Starch - 1 tsp

A container is taken in which it will be convenient to mix the components. Almost the entire tube with the mask is squeezed out. You can leave 25% of the total composition. Further, shaving foam, three times higher than the slide with the mask. Now the two ingredients are mixed, and the starch is gradually added to them. The mixture is thoroughly stirred, and a solution of sodium tetraborate is gradually introduced into it. It is necessary to monitor the thickening process. When the substance starts to screw into the stick, it's time to pick up the slime and crush it. The result is an airy slime that is pleasant to stretch and wrinkle in your hands.

Transparent

In this recipe, the main thing is to buy the main component, which will be transparent. The film mask is purchased in the form of a gel without color, glitter and scrubbing particles. Use lens fluid and baking soda.

The cooking time is minimal. You will need to squeeze the entire contents of the tube with the mask into a bowl, then add soda. You don't need a lot of it. Enough quantity on the tip of the knife. The slime is thoroughly mixed, but in the process a little liquid is added to care for the lenses.

"Artificial snow"

This requires a different approach to cooking. Do not expect that the child will like this option. Young children want to pull a slime that has soft shapes. This one will resemble a piece of ice where a lump of snow has frozen. At the same time, the slime will remain stiffer and less flexible, but the level of jumping ability will become higher.

To prepare slime you will need:

• Tetraborate.
• Transparent mask-film.
• Water.

There are only three ingredients that work wonders together. It is necessary to add a solution of a teaspoon of tetraborate and a glass of water to the mask. To mix everything. Better to do it with your hands.

Can be made without thickener?

There are several ways to make slime, in which you can not use starch and a special thickener. In this case, the question arises as to how you can replace these ingredients. One of the ways is the shampoo slime recipe described above.

There is another version of the shampoo slime recipe. But in this case, you can use toothpaste instead of soap. Necessary:

1. Mix 4 tablespoons of shampoo with 1 teaspoon of toothpaste.
2. In order to give the slime color, you can add 5 drops of dye. As a result, you should get a homogeneous dense mass.
3. The finished slime must be kept in the freezer for an hour and stored between games in a container with a lid in the refrigerator.

You can make toy slime without thickener and starch using one more recipe. This requires liquid soap, sugar, and jewelry. In a small container, you need to mix all the components:

• 5 tablespoons of liquid soap;
• 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar.

For decoration, you can use dye or glitter.

After stirring sugar and soap until smooth, it should be put in the refrigerator for a day. If the mass turns out to be too liquid, you need to add sugar, and vice versa, if the mass is too thick, dilute with shampoo.

There is also a similar recipe. Only salt can be used instead of sugar:

1. Liquid soap and salt are thoroughly mixed in the same amount (about 3 tablespoons each) in a small container for 5 minutes.
2. The resulting mixture must be removed for half an hour in the refrigerator. Do not freeze.

After cooling, the toy is ready for use. Of course, this will not turn out to be the same slime as sold in the store, but something similar - mucus of medium liquid and density.

From a mask-film and water

You can take any water for this method of making a toy, even from the tap, but it should not be hot. While mixing the mask in the liquid, try to crush the air bubbles so that the slime turns out to be transparent.

Slime preparation method

Add sodium tetraborate to water placed in a deep bowl.

Stir the components until the thickener dissolves.

Squeeze the main ingredient into the center of the liquid.

Stir the mask in the water gently by hand.

Remove the thickened mass from the liquid and place in another dish for 5-10 minutes without closing.

Why it works

From glue and tetraborate, lizuns are not very fragrant. A peel-off face mask is a different matter. The cosmetic smells good thanks to the addition of fragrances. It has a gooey, viscous property that is ideal for making slime. Anyone who has never used this cosmetic product should understand how it works.

An even layer of mask is applied to the face. It hardens in a few minutes, becomes like a rubber sheet that should be removed from the surface of the skin. The film stretches perfectly at the same time. Noticing this property, the craftsmen thought, why not use this ingredient in the manufacture of slime. Several ways were born in this way.

Boric acid (powder)

Boric acid is an insecticide and antiseptic used in agriculture and medicine. Sodium tetraborate is made on its basis, but the powder can also be used to create slimes. The pros and cons of acid are the same as that of the drug.

You can buy a sachet or a large package at a pharmacy (which is preferable), and if this is a substance for destroying garden pests or fertilizing the soil, then in a store. Price - from 70 rubles. for 10 g.

Cooking method

1. Pour the glue into a bowl.
2. Mix boric acid and water in another container.
3. Combine both liquids and stir.
4. If the mass comes out too tight, you can soften it with shower gel.

Read about the other 8 recipes for boric acid slime. You will learn how to properly dilute boric acid and what ingredients are required to make the right slime.

From glycerin and glue Luch

Shake the glue before pouring it into the dish. The beam in the bubble can split into water and clots, but it needs to be homogeneous. And it is better to use a fresh product, and not one that has a couple of weeks left before the expiration date.

Ingredients for slime

• 60 ml of PVA-M Luch glue,
• 1 tbsp. l. glycerin,
• 25 ml of water
• 2-3 pinches of powder dye,
• 0.5 tsp baking soda,
• 1-2 tsp drops from the common cold Naphtizin.

How to cook with your own hands

1. In a mixing container, glue and water are combined.
2. They need to be shaken to obtain a homogeneous liquid.
3. Next, the dye is put into it.
4. After the base has acquired an even shade, glycerin is added to it.
5. Stir the liquid again.
6. Then soda is poured into it, shaking the mass with a spoon.
7. Naphthyzine is used as an activator.
8. During its addition and after, the mass is kneaded with a spoon until it thickens.
9. Then they crumple it with their hands until the stickiness disappears.

See in this video how to make a slime from Ray glue and glycerin with your own hands:

Why does it happen that the slime does not thicken, and how to fix it?

There are several reasons why your slime is not thickening:

• Too much water. If you used a lot of water during the preparation of the slime, the slime will turn out to be liquid.
• Little thickener. If you stir the liquid vigorously for several minutes, and the slime still does not thicken, you may have added a little activator.
• Wrong thickener. Study the list of activators suitable for making slime - it can be found at the beginning of the article.
• Unsuitable adhesive. Try to get a new tube of glue for making slime. In addition, some types of glue are not suitable for making slimes.

How to fix excessive wateriness in slime:

1. If the recipe used glue and water, the glue solution might turn out to be liquid and the activator might not work. To fix this, add glue and stir again.
2. Put the slime in the refrigerator - sometimes after cooking it needs to "ripen" for a couple of hours.
3. Stir the slime thoroughly and knead it with your fingers to thicken the mass.
4. Add activator - be careful and add thickener in small portions, otherwise the slime may turn into a lump of solid mucus.

Overview of other methods

An interesting version of the toy is a magnetic slime. It is done simply: you need to take a ready-made slime made according to any recipe, add magnetic shavings, mix well again. There are also fragrant slimes: it is recommended to mix 100 g of PVA and 50 ml of any perfume, the result is a unique toy. Children love delicious slime: melting marshmallows and combining with chocolate paste, you can get a great treat!

Any slime, other than edible, must be handled correctly. Store them in an airtight container by placing them in the refrigerator. Do not leave slimes on the windowsill - they quickly deteriorate under the influence of sunlight. A dirty toy should always be rinsed with cold water. If you follow these tips, the child will be able to have fun with the slime for up to 7-14 days.

Basic recipes

Slime is prepared from various ingredients. There are many recipes. Some of them do not give exactly the result that a person expects, or do not act at all. But there are those that have been tested by more than one lover of handmade toys.

Nasal drops

The slime for this recipe is transparent due to the list of components. It will take more time to prepare it, since there are no strong thickeners in the composition. What needs to be prepared:

• 20-30 g of water at room temperature;
• 0.5 tsp soda;
• 35-55 g of stationery glue;
• 1 pack of nose drops.

Slime is made as follows:

1. In a prepared bowl, baking soda dissolves in water.
2. After kneading, there should be no lumps left.
3. Then glue is added and everything is mixed again. The result should be a homogeneous mass.
4. Nasal drops are added little by little. After each portion, the liquid is mixed. Thus, the entire contents of the bottle are poured out.
5. After all the drops are added, and the mass acquires a homogeneous consistency, it is transferred to a plastic container. It is desirable that the container has a lid and is tightly closed.
6. In the cold, the slime should spend at least 3 hours. The time varies from 3 to 5 hours.

Nasal drops can be replaced with eye drops. A solution for contact lenses will also give a good result. For the recipe, one of these liquids will come in handy.

With shaving foam

Such a toy is being prepared from only two components. You will need foam and a tube of glue. Glue is squeezed into the container, to which foam is gradually added. The mass is thoroughly mixed until it becomes homogeneous.

Slime according to this recipe turns out to be white, but it can be given an interesting shade. It is worth adding 2-3 drops of coloring matter, and the toy becomes more interesting and unusual. If you add 2 colors at once, a marble pattern will be noticeable on the slime.

Of flour

The recipe has the advantage of being safe so that even small children can play with it. And due to the lack of glue in the composition of the slime, it turns out to be edible, which will please the baby even more. To make one slime, you need 300 g of flour, ¼ part of a glass of hot water and the same amount of cold. At the kneading stage, watercolor paint or gouache is added.

Flour is mixed with water until smooth. After that, it is removed in a cool place for 2-4 hours. Under the influence of cold, the mass becomes more elastic and stretches well, which is what is needed. Slime turns out to be unpretentious, but does not contain harmful components in the composition.

Air cloud

To make a slime, you will need a lot of ingredients. When finished, it resembles a marshmallow. What is necessary:

• liquid soap;
• silicate glue;
• shaving foam;
• sodium tetraborate;
• glitter, dye;
• sunflower oil.

Cooking steps:

1. A homogeneous mixture is made of glue and shaving foam.
2. After mixing, boron, soap and oil are added.
3. Everything is mixed again.

The mass is taken in hand and kneaded for a long time. It is best to do this with your hands. Used immediately without moving to cold.

With shampoo

For manufacturing, you need starch. Pasta is prepared with the help of water. For the recipe, it is the corn one that is taken. Shampoo is added to the mass, everything is mixed and sent to the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

With liquid soap

It is prepared in two ways. In the first case, you will need polymer glue purchased at a hardware store. Two parts of liquid soap are mixed with three parts of glue. The final result of the slime depends on the type and color of the soap.

Cooking according to the second recipe, salt and soda are used instead of glue. After adding the components, the mass is mixed until smooth. In this case, salt plays the role of a thickener. If you add a large amount, you get rubber, so a little salt is poured in.

How to make from water and salt at home

For 200 ml of hot water, you will need 5 heaped teaspoons of salt. Using a spoon, the liquid is stirred until the salt is completely dissolved. Coloring agent is added as desired. Silicate glue is squeezed into the liquid. The size of the slime depends on its quantity. After that, the container is left in this state for 25-30 minutes, without stirring and other actions.

With the expiration of the specified time, the mass is slightly stirred with a stick, and the glue is pulled out of the water. Water is squeezed out, and the mass is kneaded a little by hand to get a homogeneous structure. After these actions, you can play with the slime. If a dye is used in the cooking process, a plastic container is taken, which is not a pity for this business. Expensive dishes can go bad.

Shampoo Slime

One of the components that is often included in homemade slime formulations is shampoo.There are many recipes where it is combined with available ingredients - salt, sugar, starch. Shampoo slimes are very elastic and stretch perfectly.

4. Slime with polymer glue
